Committee Votes On
Field House Frontage
At its February 28th meeting, the Building Committee of the Board
of Education voted to recommend Nebraska Avenue frontage for
Bethel's proposed new field house auditorium. According to the pro-posed
plan, the new structure will face Nebraska Avenue and will
stand midway between Edgren Residence and the engine mom.
Campus Christian Service
Sponsors Tract Contest
by Dan Seagren
At Bethel many students see the need of passing out tracts. This
work we have does more miracles than we can imagine. That's why, the
Christian Service Department is sponsoring an all school tract contest.
This will begin on March 12th and concludes on Friday, April the 6th.
The purpose of the contest is to awaken more interest in tract work,
and to provide our school and conference with some first class tracts.
Here are a few rules and sug-gestions
pertaining to the B.T.C.

Exams Reveal
Top Students
After the long, stiff climb af-forded
by final examinations, most
Bethelites are taking time to catch
a breath and scan the summits to
see who reached the top of the
academic mountain.
They found Deane Shaffer, Mar-jorie
Skog and Wayne Thompson
on the peak labeled "A" Honor
Roll.
The following fifty-eight stu-dents
made "B" Honor Roll with
"Excelsior" as their motto: Shirley

Chi Alpha Kappa, or the Christ-ian
Arts Club, held its first all-school
meeting Tuesday, March 13,
at 8:00 P. M. in the seminary
chapel.
Chi Alpha Kappa will include
drama, literature, and music as
well as art, in its future programs.
The speaker engaged for the
evening, Professor Eugene John-son,
showed slides on modern art.
The title of his lecture was "What
is Modern in Modern Art?" His
aim was to instill in his audience,
a deeper appreciation for this rap-idly
advancing form of art.
Some of the most interesting
slides were those on surrealism—
expressing the subconscious activi-ties
of the mind by presenting im-ages
as in a dream—without order
or sequence.
After the lecture, Carol Bessey
read the constitution which had
been approved by the Student
Council. The constitution was ac-cepted
by vote at this time. Mem-bership
cards were given out for
everyone interested to sign.
Margot Skoog, Roselia Solis, War-ren
Soule, Harvey Swanberg, Har-old
Tangmo, Lloyd Thompson,
Muriel Tompson, Arlie Weber,
Harold Werts, Nadine Westin, Al
Windham, Melvin Wintersteen,
Gordon Witz.
1. The tract must be original.
2. They must be written for the
non-Christians.
3. The authors may submit as
many as they desire.
4. Only the content of the tract
will be judged. (The art work and
lay out will come after the tract
is selected.)
5. Any length is acceptable (usu-ally
the shorter and more interest-ing
the better).
6. A set of rules and suggestions
will be made available in Chapel
on Friday.
After the tracts have been judg-ed,
three winners will be chosen
to receive a Thompson Chain Re-ference
Bible, a two volume com-mentary
for Christians, and a sub-scription
to a leading Christian
magazine. If prizes are duplicated
their equivalent may be received.
Above this, all tracts judged worthy
of publication will be published.
Let's begin to lay the ground
work now. We need much prayer
and thought behind a task as im-portant
as this one is.
The blue prints which are near-ing
completion in the office of
Eugene Corwin, architect, describe
a structure approximately 100 x
120, with brick-faced modified
Georgian design conforming with
the other buildings on the campus.
On each side of the regulation 90'
x 50' court will be tiers of stadium
seats for 550 spectators, making a
total game capacity of 1,100. When
used as an auditorium, the building
will seat 1,800.
On each side of the court, be-low
the upper teirs of seats, will
be classrooms, offices, shower and
dressing rooms, and equipment
storage. Space is also provided for
a small gym for corrective work
and individual sports.
The fieldhouse auditorium is
part of the Centennial building
program now being promoted and
planned. The other unit will be the
completion of the T-shaped build-ing
including our present library
as its north wing. The south wing
will house administration offices.
The east wing will be a new chapel
seating 800. A central foyer will
serve all three wings and provide
space on the top level for the
music department. Four teaching
studios, ten practice rooms, a band
and classroom are planned.
Students Change Name
Of Missionary Band
Recently the student body voted
to amend the constitution of the
former Missionary Band to change
the name of the organization to
that of Foreign Missions Fellow-ship.
According to officers of the
group, this act was taken to elim-inate
ambiguities associated with
the name Missionary Band.
Phil McClain, treasurer of the
Fellowship has announced that in
order to attain the $5,000 goal
for missions for this year, the
Friday offerings in chapel must
average close to $200 an offering.

Three weeks ago Mr. Bursell,
campus carpenter, had three
toes broken on one foot while
doing some repair work in the
dish room of the dining hall. A
piece of quarter steel, on which
he was bending tin, fell on his
foot. As a result, Mr. Bursell
has been off work and is now
convelescing at his home, hav-ing
to use crutches to walk. If
you'd like to send him a note,
his address is 1357 Wynne St.,
St. Paul.
J. S. Bach
(1685-1750)
Johannes Brahms (1836-1891)
Darius Milhaud (1892- )
The "Variations on a Theme by
Haydn" by Brahm will be especi-ally
familiar to the members of
the Girl's Chorus, for the theme
of the Variations is the theme
from an anthem they sing, "We
Praise Thee 0 Father", by Haydn.
Another note of interest concern-ing
these variations is that it was
first performed by Clara Schuman
and Brahms. Brahms, although he
never married, was deeply attached
to Clara Schumann, wife of Robert
Schumann ,one of his best friends.
The finale for this concert is
Darius Milhand's (pronounced Me-lo)
"Scaramouche". In the abun-dance
and variety of Milhaud's
output, there is much of inequality
of value. Some of his music is
flippantly vulgar, some is expres-sively
poetical; some is dry and
harsh, some is warmly lyrical. He
has exploited the effects of jazz
and has indulged in such crude
humor as setting to music a flor-ist's
catalogue. "Scaramouche" is
the story of a puppet or jester
reminicent of Italian and French
opera. Milhaud describes his ant-ics
and pranks through the use of
popular tunes of the United States
and many of the very complicated
types of South American rhythm.
Important dates in your music
future include the recital by Mr.
Edward LeVau, accompanied by
Miss Bisgrove, on Friday evening,
April 20th, in the college chapel,
and the homecoming concert of
the Chapel Choir at Central Baptist
Church on Sunday evening, April
22nd, at 7:45 P. M. The choir leaves
for a 17 day tour of the New Eng-land
and Middle Eastern States.
The choir is under the direction of
Prof. C. Howard Smith.
Mr. W. Cameron Townsend, one
of the founders and directors of
the Wycliffe Translators, gives the
narrative, and the Old Fashioned
Revival Hour chorus-choir provides
the musical background for the
film.
The film has been produced in
the interest of the Wycliffe Bible
Translators, to emphasize the need
of more than 1,000 tribes who are
without any portion of the Bible.
Sponsoring the showing of the film
is the Missionary Fellowship on
campus.
'Prospectives' As Guest Listeners
Will Hear Profs Bisgrove and Smith
In connection with Prospective Student's Day, Miss Mildred Bis-grove,
assistant professor of piano, and music history, and Mr. C.
Howard Smith, assistant professor of organ and music theory, will
present a program of two piano works in recital tonight, at 8:30 P. M.
in the College Chapel. The program includes:
Passacaglia in G minor Handel, (1685-1759)
Chorale Preludes:
Sheep May Safely Graze
In Thee Is Joy
Variations on a Theme by Haydn
Scaramouche
Colored Film "0 For a Thousand
Tongues To Be Shown March 21
The forty minute sound film "0 For a Thousand Tongues", filmed
by Dr. Irwin Moon of the Science Division of the Moody Bible 'Institute,
will be shown at the Student Fellowship Hour next Wednesday evening,
March 21st, at 7.00 p.m. in the College chapel. The picture was taken
in color by Dr. Moon on his recent trip to the jungle of South America
and the hinterland of Peru.
Pianoforte Footnotes
by Jean Hoskings
It was in the early part of the eighteenth century that George Frederick Handel
left his studies at the University and his job as organist in Halle for the glamorous
musical life at Hamburg. His average middle-class German family were amazed but
success was not long in coming after Handel became harpsichordist for the opera
orchestra. Soon Hamburg also became too small for Handel. He left for Italy, then
London, where he composed operas, orataorios and instrumental music. One piece,
derived from a Spanish dance, was called Passacaglia in G Minor.
During the same years Bach the Cantor of St. Thomas at Leipsiz spent hours
bending over his music in a gloomy congested one-room study. With laboring exact-ness
Bach filled the task of supplying music for the church services. At one time he
wrote at the top of his sheet of music, "Sheep May Safely Graze" and at another, "In
Thee Is Joy".
One day in late September, 1853, Brahms stood at the door of the home of Robert
and Clara Schumann. Perhaps he remembered the nights he had spent when a small
boy playing the violin in the dimly-lit dance halls of the Hamburg slums. But when
the door opened it ushered him into a music-filled home where two life-long friends
would help him on the way to success. At one of the many concerts in which he played
with Clara Schumann they introduced a composition of his own, "Variations On a
Theme by Haydn".
In the early part of this century, Darius Milhaud, a young Frenchman, studied at
the Paris Conservatory. Less than three years after he left school, his work was widely
proclaimed in Paris. He traveled widely and in 1940 came to live in the United States.
He is now teaching at Mills College, Calif. Here he made use of his spontaneous, singing
music by combining the essence of popular musical tunes he heard in North America
cities with the rich color of South American rhythms in such a work as Scaramouche.
When you look at your program for the two piano concert Friday night, think
of all the lives, hopes, and dreams that happened then to make our program possible
now.
Widen Your World Horizons
Page 2 THE CLARION Friday, March 16, 1951
by Dave Carlson
During Founder's Week we enjoyed the fellowship of our pastors and former
Bethel students who returned for a time of spiritual blessing. As we meet these
friends, we are reminded again of our great heritage and the men and women of God
who have sacrificed that this school might train Christian young people for life.
This has been Bethel's contribution in the past and we pray that it will continue
to be the training ground for Christian ministers, educators, business men, nurses,
doctors and home makers. However, an aspect of our life at school which we tend to
overlook is the fact that although we are in training, we are still young men and
women with a contribution to make now. One of the growing problems which I am
sure will become even more important to the future success of Bethel is the matter
of integration of the student body into the life of the community. Spiritually, cultur-ally
and politically, there are opporttunities for participation on the part of Bethel
students in the life of the Twin Cities and even larger areas. The "world" for too
many of us here at Bethel has been bounded by the streets of Snelling, Arlington,
Arona, and Nebraska.
"Church trampism" is a persistent campus disease which should be remedied.
Opportunities for increased Christian service and a broadening of our social life and
interests is offered to us by actively supporting and attending some local church. There
are Sunday School classes, prayer meetings, and young people's groups to which Bethel
students can contribute as well as finding them to be of personal spiritual and social
benefit. The offering of associate memberships in Conference churches to Bethel
students was a step in the right direction but how many have taken advantage of that
program?

AAMAALWWWWWWWWWIANWWWWWWWWWI:WW WWINIWA
He Borrowed A Tomb
The patient tomb awaited a quiet night
of emptiness, but it was not to be so.
Calvary's garden began to stir with the
swift actions of Joseph and Nicodemus as
they tenderly bore a precious burden to-ward
the sepulcher. There was the sound
of women weeping as Jesus' body was =-
hinted in haste before the setting of the
sun. Quickly He was wrapped and placed
within the coolness of that borrowed tomb.
For a handful of hours (from shortly
before sunset one Friday until sometime
before sunrise the first day of the week)
the Lord of Glory borrowed the tomb of
one Joseph of Arimathaea. Not long did
the body of earth's Redeemer remain in
that borrowed abode; but the abode was
necessary, as was the burial, for without
the burial there could have been no resur-rection.
Through the ages, men have dogmatically
held that death terminates life, while the
Scriptures have continually proclaimed in
the story of Christ's burial and resurrection
that life springs from death. If there had
been no death, there would have been
no resurrection and no truth in the words
of Jesus which echoed through the cen-turies—"
Because I live, ye shall live also."
The real story of Easter is the story of
a tomb borrowed but briefly and as quickly
forgotten in the shadows. But someday it
would make a brighter resting for Joseph
of Arimathaea because the King of Glory
had rested there before him, leaving be-hind
the grave-clothes and the angels.
Ever Get Irritated?
God-given love never gets irritated. True,
it's a love the world knows nothing about,
but the fact remains that it is never irri-tated.
This is not synonymous with saying
that this love God gives never irritates
others.
A sunset, however beautiful, may irritate
the eyes of one suffering from photophobia;
but that is because the owner of those eyes
is unwell. The situation is not remedied by
asking God to send, or expecting Him to
send, an endless number of sunless days.
It is overcome by drawing a window-shade
for the time being, until the sufferer is
better.
It is note-worthy that in such a case
people are not prone to become irritated
with either the sufferer or the sunset. They
merely face the facts and adjust the en-vironment.
So, in our spiritual lives we
must not permit Satan to convince us that
love becomes irritated at times. This can-not
be true. It is not the nature of God-bestowed
love to become irritated, however
irritating the environment might tend to be.
The drawn shade soon becomes a con-stant
reminder to the sick one that a blaze
of glory lies just beyond it. In just such
a manner love is patient, adjusting to the
situation at hand, for is it not written
"Love suffereth long ... and is kind?"
An interest in cultural and world affairs
should be promoted by a school-sponsored
Convocation series of lectures, concerts and
discussions featuring outstanding local au-thorities
and artists. There should be more
publicity given to timely lectures and dis-cussions
presented at the University of
Minnesota and other places. It is encourag-ing
to notice the increased interest among
the students in concerts being offered and
the presentation of faculty and student re-citals.
Let's hope the interest is contagious.
Among the many issues and conditions
which are the topics of political debate
both in city councils and the U. N. assembly
there is a place for the Christian student
to show his interest and express himself.
Some intelligent thought and discussion
on current problems would certainly aid all
of us in presenting the remedy for the
world's ills from a truly Christian stand-point.
The phariseeical attitude represented
by the remark, "All government and poli-tics
is rotten", stems from the apathy with
which most Christians have faced civic
problems and elections. There is not only
room for more Christian political leaders
but also for many, many more active and
interested Christian citizens whose message
meets the people where they meet problems
and not only in church on Sunday.
Let us re-examine the attitudes with
which we have faced the opportunities and
problems of our day and resolve that our
Christian testimony will be one which will
show Christ as the center of life rather
than out on the periphery. If Christ is the
solution to all of life's problems we should
bring that message into the places where it
can be heard and tried. Otherwise, let's
keep the Gospel in our churches and within
the confines of our campus where we can
"convince the already convinced."
Spring Quarter
Rad-Adam/1
Like New Years, the beginning of a new
quarter is the time for making resolutions.
"I will", "I determine", " I resolve"—such
phrases are pretty common nowadays. Let's
look at a few.
To start off right, Rhoda Armstrong says
she's through making decisions—she can't
live up to them anyway.
Charlotte Ransom sat on the steps in the
dorm and said, "Well, I won't say any-thing;
I'll just show you kids!" At the
time, she was pushing her broom back and
forth making patterns on the floor.
Mr. Dalton determined that his students
would work hard for him this quarter.
After discussing the various tours and
events coming up, however, he confessed
he didn't know quite when.
Fraulein Nelson will be glad to hear that
Nadine Westin and Dorothy _____ have
resolved to quit talking in German class.
Concluding that with two extra subjects
it would be impossible to get all A's,
Trygve Homeland said he'd be satisfied
with B's.
As for Carolyn Friske her biggest con-cern
is that she can stick to her fare of
eggs and oranges. Well, I don't know—I
must be from Missouri.
Oh, speaking about Missouri, Wayne
Yount has given up writing letters for a
harder life of Palmer and Beardsley.
Anyway, I'll come back at the end of the
quarter; you gotta' show me!
Cem5 of Tbougbt
President Wingblade
Years ago, someone came out with a
book entitled: "Putting Yourself in His
Place." Of course that requires something
of experience coupled with imagination
and makes for sympathy or compassion.
The word compassion means, "to feel with"
or "to suffer with." Miranda says to her
father Prospero in the Tempest: "I have
suffered with those I saw suffer."
Longfellow has somewhere in his poetry
the statement that if a man could look
into the heart and mind of his worst enemy,
and see there the burdens and the cares,
the trials and the heartaches that beset
him, his hatred would soon change into
understanding pity and even into love. And
it is Victor Hugo who emphasizes that pity
and love are never far apart.
Whittier, in his enthusiastic tribute to
Robert Burns, who inspired him so in his
boyhood, also refers to his irregularities.
The American poet adds that we little know
the problems that beset the plowboy poet
and the pressure of temptation, and that
if we knew, we would withhold overhasty
judgment.
Even Mohammed speaks of compassion
as a miracle. He says: "What if we did
not have compassion—the gift of God?"
There was One, infinitely greater than
Mohammed, who looked with divine insight
into the souls of men—and shed tears
which were from the heart of God.
I recall how Charles M. Sheldon (the
author of, In His Steps) pointed out four
attitudes that men take toward their fellow
men:
One is that of selfish interest: "How
long will this man be able to serve me in
my factory or mine, that I might accumu-late
profit?"
Another is that of disgust: "Let's get
away from this crowd. I do not like the
odor of the mob."
A third is that of selfish indifference: "I
suppose I would give to the poor if I saw
them, but they do not come up my way. I
live on Fifth Avenue."
But a fourth attitude is that of compas-sion.
There was One who saw the multitude
as sheep without a shepherd, and He had
compassion on them.
Do we hear "the still sad music of
humanity" through His ears? Do we see
the human needs through His eyes, and
somehow feel the poignant pain of it all?
It was John Ruskin who said: "I simply
cannot paint nor read, nor look at minerals,
nor do anything else I like, and the very
light of the morning sky, when there is
any—which is seldom nowadays in Lon-don—
has become hateful to me, because of
the misery that I know of, and see signs
of where I know it not—which no imagin-ation
can interpret too bitterly."
And this was not only superficial senti-ment
with Ruskin. It was the depth of
sincerity, for he gave away nine-tenths of
his fortune of almost a million dollars—
to relieve human misery.
Dorm Dietetics
by Marti
What a life! Such abuse! I'd die, I would,
1 mean, I'd like to be the slender type, too,
but to go through what some go through—
Some use the cave-man technique; they
pound their hips, they roll on the floor,
they use various machines and practice sit-ups
,push-ups, and other horrible exercises
regularly .
Some use the miraculous drug method.
You know, use JIFFY-THIN—guaranteed
to take pounds off in just days! Miss Betty
Blimp becomes young again, dates again—
YOU may do it, too.
And then there are the Bethel girls. If
you see a girl in the dining hall with a
measly salad and an orange on her tray,
or if you smell spinach cooking in the
candy kitchen, it can mean only one thing—
the gal is dieting!
How to cure a girl of this? Do as one
girl did—paste pictures of lucious food
everywhere around, consistently bring home
malts and candy bars, and hide her scale—
these will make her weaken.
As for me, I couldn't grit my teeth and
run past the strawberry chiffon pie or
apple crisp a la mode! Hey, where's my
meal book? I'm starving!

Oratory Contest Set For April 25;
Cash Prizes to Be Awarded Winners
Plans for a Spring Oratory Contest are now underway by the Bethel
Speech Department. Professor Harold Berntsen of the Speech Depart-ment
has announced that April 25 is the date set for the oratory contest
at which time the first, second, and third place winners will be awarded
$25, $15, and $10 respectively. The awards are sponsored by Dr. Alford
Hanson, former Bethel student of 1920-24, who has given the sum of $50
for encouragement of better speech at Bethel.
Three themes have been chosen that the orations for the contest
must center around. They are: Christian Thought in Relation to War;
The Place of a Christian Education in a Democratic Society; The Chris-tian
Church and its Relation to Poverty. The title of the oration must
center around these themes, and the oration itself must be original.
All Bethel students are eligible
for the contest who are carrying
9 or more credit hours in the
College. The orations will be limi-ted
within 1400 to 1600 words. The
contest will take place at 8:15
P. M. immediately following Stu-dent
Fellowship Hour, April 25.
Each manuscript of the orations
must be presented to Mr. Berntsen
no later than 4:00 P. M. April 18,
either in Room 203 of the College
or in P. 0. Box F-14.
Three judges will base their de-cisions
on the following criteria:
Sixty per-cent of the decision will
rest on the content, originality,
persuasiveness, and organization
and delivery or the oration; Forty
percent of the decision will be
based on effective gestures used,
posture, eye contact, variety of
voice (pitch, force, quality, rate).
Mr. Berntsen stated that in the
event that a larger number of
entries are received than can be
conveniently taken care of in one
final contest, the sponsors reserve
the right to set up a preliminary
contest for the purpose of limiting
the field to the number that can
be conveniently handled in one
final contest.
Mr. Berntsen further stated that
except for normal assistance given
to those students who are regularly
enrolled in speech classes, the
speech faculty in fairness to all
would limit aid to contestants. In
writing and organizing the oration
the student must lean on his own
resources but may ask for pre-liminary
information as to general
questions covering the field of
oratory. Each student will be al-lowed
one session with one of the
speech staff for criticism of deliv-ery.

Girls Advised on
Marriage at Dorm
Meeting Monday
"In love, you sink into his arms;
in marriage, you're in the sink up
to your arms," said Mrs. Curtis
Akenson to Bethel women gathered
at their recent dorm meeting.
Aiming at exposing the "roman-tic
fallacy", Mrs. Akenson, whose
husband is pastor of First Baptist
in Minneapolis, stressed the real-istic
side of romances and mar-riage,
and rather than passing out
hints for snaring the elusive and
wily male, she advised her femin-ine
audience to fall in love, not
"head over heels" but 'head over
heart."
She cited sociological evidence
to prove early marriage is not com-patible
with the socio-economic
system in which we live. She also
noted that, although Christian mar-riage
is the usual pattern for hap-piness,
it is not the only way
mentioned in Scripture. Allowance
is made by Paul and other writers
for happiness of those who prefer
to remain in single blessedness.
Much unhappiness and many trag-edies
in life have been the lot
of a few people who were just
dying to get married and who
finally made the grade, she ob-served.
In conclusion, Mrs. Akenson ad-vised
her youthful listeners to be
realistic and to seek and follow
guidance of the Dinivne will, con-fident
in the fact that the Lord
said "I am able" before He said,
"Be ye perfect".
"What's the Use"
Is Chapel Program
Next Week
Several musical selections were
featured on the program. Richard
Dahlquist played a piano solo, fol-lowed
by the reading of the Easter
message from Luke 24:10 by John
Hiben, after which Vernon Ander-son
led in prayer. Duets were sung
by Marie Ekstrom and Carol Bach-man,
Norris Magnuson and Eugene
Messenger, and Ann Radunz and
Mary Quernemoen. Vocal soloists
were Barbara Port and Anna New-ell.

'INDIAN ARROWS
I feel that if Bethel could have had a few more in their cheering
section down at Chicago at the North Park game, the team might have
come through with a victory instead of that heart-breaking one point
loss. The Indian cagers played excellent ball—generally on a par above
that of the Chicago team, with the exception of one Hoopie Johnson
(I'll always stick up for the Johnsons.) This game proved that Bethel is
capable of playing on an equal such schools as North Park, which are
generally figured better than Bethel. Possibly this will develop into a
friendly rivalry between these schools each year.
* * * * *
In the Intramural news we observe that West is still far in front in
the battle for the trophy awarded annually. Illinois continues in the
runnerup spot. Way down in the cellar is that unfabulous St. Paul-
Minneapolis team. They have yet to win a game, although they're still
trying hard. I think they need a few talented Twin City Prospective
Scudents. Are there any such students?
* * * * *
Plans now call for the very near future completion of Bethel's new
gym. A much needed facility, this new addition will help to attract
many new students to Bethel who would otherwise go elsewhere for
lack of athletic facilities.
Bethel Five Rips Luther, Concordia
Bud Pierce Leads Way With 17 & 24
Gaining revenge for their first
defeat of the season, Bethel bounc-ed
Luther, 65-59 on March 1 at
Minnehaha. The home cagers led
most of the way in chalking up
their ninth straight win.
Pete Unruh and Bud Pierce led
the way with 19 and 17 points
respectively. After a fine first
quarter in which they outscored
their opponent 20-9, the Indians
found themselves snowed under 22-
9 in the second quarter to be on
the short end 31-29 at the half.
Pierce contributed ten points in
this half for top honors.
In the final half of the tilt, the
Redmen stormed back with a heavy
bucket barrage of 14 baskets to re-sume
their lead. Unruh was the
guiding light, tossing in 11 points
to help insure victory.
Art Hage dropped three fine
shots in this half to aid the cause.
Meanwhile, outstanding Don Hart-wig,
only a freshman, starred for
Luther with 18 points.

trouble in disposing of the foe to
win their eighth in a row.
Coach Peterson emptied the
bench—all thirteen players—in
chalking up the win. The Redmen
jumped off to a 16-8 first quarter
lead, and at halftime were in front
by 31-25.
Opening up in the third quarter,
the Indians spurted ahead to a
48-34 lead. The reserves were then
sent in, but they kept the ball
rolling and the Concordia cagers
found themselves dropping behind
very far. Bud Pierce played one of
his finest games connecting on 12
shots.

Friday, March 16, 1951 Indian Cagers End Season; Win 11
North Park Tips Bethel 70-69
Break String of Nine Wins
Running into the hottest scorer
they had seen all season, Bethel
dropped a close 70-69 verdict to
North Park College of Chicago on
March 3. The Indian cagers travel-ed
to Chicago for the encounter.
For North Park, the star and
hero of the day was Marlyn (Hoop-ie)
Johnson, a 6-1 forward who
scorched the hoops for 33 points
on 15 baskets and three gift
throws. Most amazing is the aver-age
of Johnson. He hit 10 for 12
shots in the second half and had
a game total of 15 for 21. Such
phenomenal shooting provided the
extra push needed by the Chicago-ans
to slip past the Red and White
of St. Paul.
Pete Unruh started the team off
with a quick basket and the teams
traded shots for the next eighteen
minutes on equal terms. Ralph
Martin, playing his most brilliant
game in a Bethel uniform, netted
Bethel's next seven points after
Unruh's shot. At the end of ten
minutes, the Indians held a slim
17-16 margin. With only two min-utes
remaining in the half, Bethel
guided by Art Hage's three long
"swishers" and Martin's five points
jumped their lead to 37-30 as the
half ended.

This supremacy was maintained,
even increased up in the second
half. At one time, Bethel held a
47-36 lead. Then the devastating
work of "Hoopie" began. With a
deadly, precision like form, this
one man show began to sink his
shots. He hit his first eight shots
before missing one. Then he con-nected
on two more.
Martin added 13 to his total this
half and finished with his season's
high of 25. His fine rebounding
and shooting was outstanding in
the contest. Bud Pierce, usually
Bethel's undisputed field general
had one of his rare "Bad" nights.
Though he scored 14 points, he
was noticeably off on his shots.
Girls Downed By
NWSchoo135-27
Bethel girls basketball team drop-ped
their third straight game on
March 12 at Northwestern Schools.
Northwestern downed the girls 35-
27. The outstanding star once a-gain
was Carol Asker with 16
points.
Earlier the girls had lost to
Northwestern, as well as to Fair-view
Hospital. The girls can claim
only one victory, that over the
Farm Campus girl's team. Last
night (15), the girls were scheduled
to play the Mounds Midway team.
Those on the team this year in-clude:
forwards; Marge Johnson,
Marilyn Dahlquist, Nettie Diver-nak,
Pearl Ohlin, Barb Port, Lorr-aine
Pepper, and Carol Asker.
Guards are Ann Higbe, Ruth Mart-inson,
Audrey Samuelson, Gerry
Daley, Eunice Hult, and Doraine

Team Averages
61.4 Points In
Eighteen Contests
Bethel finished its 1950-51 sea-son
with a record of eleven victor-ies
against seven losses. The team
scored 1,105 points against their
opponents 971 points. These totals
show Bethel scored an average of
61.4 points per game while holding
the opposition to 53.9 points per
contest.
The cagers started off the sea-son
the wrong way by dropping
their first three games. Superior
State Teachers edged the Indians
by just two in the season's lowest
scoring game and Northwestern
tipped Bethel by only one.
Winning only two out of their
next five, the Redmen found that
after the first eight games, they
had won only two. Then the team
hit upon the right combination to
win nine in a row before dropping
the season finale to North Park,
70-69 at Chicago.
The Indian five hit 62 points
or better in all of their last ten
games. They were in the sixties
seven times, the seventies twice,
and hit a new Bethel scoring re-cord
of 89 points against Bethany
in overtime on Feb. 9.

Win Over Calvary
Running up their highest total
for one game this season, the B
squad walloped Calvary Baptist
Church March 13 in the Bethel
gym 94-58. Ron Nelson rang up a
total of 22 points to take the
evening's scoring honors.
The Calvary five played the
Bethel team on even terms for one
half, but then faltered under the
constant fast breaking of the B
squad. At the end of the first
quarter, the score read 20-17 for
Calvary.
In the second quarter, the Cal-vary
team gained three points on
the Indians to pull into a halftime
tie score of 37 all. Cliff Anderson
continued his hot pace, scoring
five more baskets to give him a
halftime total of 16 points.
With Ron Nelson, Harry Nelson,
Chuck Lindgren, and Gene Messen-ger
all hitting at a good clip, the
B squad shot out in front at the
end of the third quarter, 66-45.
In the last quarter, they continued
to add to their total to tally finally
94. It was the last B squad game
of the season.

Campus Christian Service
Sponsors Tract Contest
by Dan Seagren
At Bethel many students see the need of passing out tracts. This
work we have does more miracles than we can imagine. That's why, the
Christian Service Department is sponsoring an all school tract contest.
This will begin on March 12th and concludes on Friday, April the 6th.
The purpose of the contest is to awaken more interest in tract work,
and to provide our school and conference with some first class tracts.
Here are a few rules and sug-gestions

Chi Alpha Kappa, or the Christ-ian
Arts Club, held its first all-school
meeting Tuesday, March 13,
at 8:00 P. M. in the seminary
chapel.
Chi Alpha Kappa will include
drama, literature, and music as
well as art, in its future programs.
The speaker engaged for the
evening, Professor Eugene John-son,
showed slides on modern art.
The title of his lecture was "What
is Modern in Modern Art?" His
aim was to instill in his audience,
a deeper appreciation for this rap-idly
advancing form of art.
Some of the most interesting
slides were those on surrealism—
expressing the subconscious activi-ties
of the mind by presenting im-ages
as in a dream—without order
or sequence.
After the lecture, Carol Bessey
read the constitution which had
been approved by the Student
Council. The constitution was ac-cepted
by vote at this time. Mem-bership
cards were given out for
everyone interested to sign.
Margot Skoog, Roselia Solis, War-ren

Tangmo, Lloyd Thompson,
Muriel Tompson, Arlie Weber,
Harold Werts, Nadine Westin, Al
Windham, Melvin Wintersteen,
Gordon Witz.
1. The tract must be original.
2. They must be written for the
non-Christians.
3. The authors may submit as
many as they desire.
4. Only the content of the tract
will be judged. (The art work and
lay out will come after the tract
is selected.)
5. Any length is acceptable (usu-ally
the shorter and more interest-ing
the better).
6. A set of rules and suggestions
will be made available in Chapel
on Friday.
After the tracts have been judg-ed,
three winners will be chosen
to receive a Thompson Chain Re-ference
Bible, a two volume com-mentary
for Christians, and a sub-scription
to a leading Christian
magazine. If prizes are duplicated
their equivalent may be received.
Above this, all tracts judged worthy
of publication will be published.
Let's begin to lay the ground
work now. We need much prayer
and thought behind a task as im-portant
as this one is.
The blue prints which are near-ing
completion in the office of
Eugene Corwin, architect, describe
a structure approximately 100 x
120, with brick-faced modified
Georgian design conforming with
the other buildings on the campus.
On each side of the regulation 90'
x 50' court will be tiers of stadium
seats for 550 spectators, making a
total game capacity of 1,100. When
used as an auditorium, the building
will seat 1,800.
On each side of the court, be-low
the upper teirs of seats, will
be classrooms, offices, shower and
dressing rooms, and equipment
storage. Space is also provided for
a small gym for corrective work
and individual sports.
The fieldhouse auditorium is
part of the Centennial building
program now being promoted and
planned. The other unit will be the
completion of the T-shaped build-ing
including our present library
as its north wing. The south wing
will house administration offices.
The east wing will be a new chapel
seating 800. A central foyer will
serve all three wings and provide
space on the top level for the
music department. Four teaching
studios, ten practice rooms, a band
and classroom are planned.
Students Change Name
Of Missionary Band
Recently the student body voted
to amend the constitution of the
former Missionary Band to change
the name of the organization to
that of Foreign Missions Fellow-ship.
According to officers of the
group, this act was taken to elim-inate
ambiguities associated with
the name Missionary Band.
Phil McClain, treasurer of the
Fellowship has announced that in
order to attain the $5,000 goal
for missions for this year, the
Friday offerings in chapel must
average close to $200 an offering.

Three weeks ago Mr. Bursell,
campus carpenter, had three
toes broken on one foot while
doing some repair work in the
dish room of the dining hall. A
piece of quarter steel, on which
he was bending tin, fell on his
foot. As a result, Mr. Bursell
has been off work and is now
convelescing at his home, hav-ing
to use crutches to walk. If
you'd like to send him a note,
his address is 1357 Wynne St.,

J. S. Bach
(1685-1750)
Johannes Brahms (1836-1891)
Darius Milhaud (1892- )
The "Variations on a Theme by
Haydn" by Brahm will be especi-ally
familiar to the members of
the Girl's Chorus, for the theme
of the Variations is the theme
from an anthem they sing, "We
Praise Thee 0 Father", by Haydn.
Another note of interest concern-ing
these variations is that it was
first performed by Clara Schuman
and Brahms. Brahms, although he
never married, was deeply attached
to Clara Schumann, wife of Robert
Schumann ,one of his best friends.
The finale for this concert is
Darius Milhand's (pronounced Me-lo)
"Scaramouche". In the abun-dance
and variety of Milhaud's
output, there is much of inequality
of value. Some of his music is
flippantly vulgar, some is expres-sively
poetical; some is dry and
harsh, some is warmly lyrical. He
has exploited the effects of jazz
and has indulged in such crude
humor as setting to music a flor-ist's
catalogue. "Scaramouche" is
the story of a puppet or jester
reminicent of Italian and French
opera. Milhaud describes his ant-ics
and pranks through the use of
popular tunes of the United States
and many of the very complicated
types of South American rhythm.
Important dates in your music
future include the recital by Mr.
Edward LeVau, accompanied by
Miss Bisgrove, on Friday evening,
April 20th, in the college chapel,
and the homecoming concert of
the Chapel Choir at Central Baptist
Church on Sunday evening, April
22nd, at 7:45 P. M. The choir leaves
for a 17 day tour of the New Eng-land
and Middle Eastern States.
The choir is under the direction of
Prof. C. Howard Smith.
Mr. W. Cameron Townsend, one
of the founders and directors of
the Wycliffe Translators, gives the
narrative, and the Old Fashioned
Revival Hour chorus-choir provides
the musical background for the
film.
The film has been produced in
the interest of the Wycliffe Bible
Translators, to emphasize the need
of more than 1,000 tribes who are
without any portion of the Bible.
Sponsoring the showing of the film
is the Missionary Fellowship on
campus.

in color by Dr. Moon on his recent trip to the jungle of South America
and the hinterland of Peru.
Pianoforte Footnotes
by Jean Hoskings
It was in the early part of the eighteenth century that George Frederick Handel
left his studies at the University and his job as organist in Halle for the glamorous
musical life at Hamburg. His average middle-class German family were amazed but
success was not long in coming after Handel became harpsichordist for the opera
orchestra. Soon Hamburg also became too small for Handel. He left for Italy, then
London, where he composed operas, orataorios and instrumental music. One piece,
derived from a Spanish dance, was called Passacaglia in G Minor.
During the same years Bach the Cantor of St. Thomas at Leipsiz spent hours
bending over his music in a gloomy congested one-room study. With laboring exact-ness
Bach filled the task of supplying music for the church services. At one time he
wrote at the top of his sheet of music, "Sheep May Safely Graze" and at another, "In
Thee Is Joy".
One day in late September, 1853, Brahms stood at the door of the home of Robert
and Clara Schumann. Perhaps he remembered the nights he had spent when a small
boy playing the violin in the dimly-lit dance halls of the Hamburg slums. But when
the door opened it ushered him into a music-filled home where two life-long friends
would help him on the way to success. At one of the many concerts in which he played
with Clara Schumann they introduced a composition of his own, "Variations On a
Theme by Haydn".
In the early part of this century, Darius Milhaud, a young Frenchman, studied at
the Paris Conservatory. Less than three years after he left school, his work was widely
proclaimed in Paris. He traveled widely and in 1940 came to live in the United States.
He is now teaching at Mills College, Calif. Here he made use of his spontaneous, singing
music by combining the essence of popular musical tunes he heard in North America
cities with the rich color of South American rhythms in such a work as Scaramouche.
When you look at your program for the two piano concert Friday night, think
of all the lives, hopes, and dreams that happened then to make our program possible
now.
Widen Your World Horizons
Page 2 THE CLARION Friday, March 16, 1951
by Dave Carlson
During Founder's Week we enjoyed the fellowship of our pastors and former
Bethel students who returned for a time of spiritual blessing. As we meet these
friends, we are reminded again of our great heritage and the men and women of God
who have sacrificed that this school might train Christian young people for life.
This has been Bethel's contribution in the past and we pray that it will continue
to be the training ground for Christian ministers, educators, business men, nurses,
doctors and home makers. However, an aspect of our life at school which we tend to
overlook is the fact that although we are in training, we are still young men and
women with a contribution to make now. One of the growing problems which I am
sure will become even more important to the future success of Bethel is the matter
of integration of the student body into the life of the community. Spiritually, cultur-ally
and politically, there are opporttunities for participation on the part of Bethel
students in the life of the Twin Cities and even larger areas. The "world" for too
many of us here at Bethel has been bounded by the streets of Snelling, Arlington,
Arona, and Nebraska.
"Church trampism" is a persistent campus disease which should be remedied.
Opportunities for increased Christian service and a broadening of our social life and
interests is offered to us by actively supporting and attending some local church. There
are Sunday School classes, prayer meetings, and young people's groups to which Bethel
students can contribute as well as finding them to be of personal spiritual and social
benefit. The offering of associate memberships in Conference churches to Bethel
students was a step in the right direction but how many have taken advantage of that
program?

AAMAALWWWWWWWWWIANWWWWWWWWWI:WW WWINIWA
He Borrowed A Tomb
The patient tomb awaited a quiet night
of emptiness, but it was not to be so.
Calvary's garden began to stir with the
swift actions of Joseph and Nicodemus as
they tenderly bore a precious burden to-ward
the sepulcher. There was the sound
of women weeping as Jesus' body was =-
hinted in haste before the setting of the
sun. Quickly He was wrapped and placed
within the coolness of that borrowed tomb.
For a handful of hours (from shortly
before sunset one Friday until sometime
before sunrise the first day of the week)
the Lord of Glory borrowed the tomb of
one Joseph of Arimathaea. Not long did
the body of earth's Redeemer remain in
that borrowed abode; but the abode was
necessary, as was the burial, for without
the burial there could have been no resur-rection.
Through the ages, men have dogmatically
held that death terminates life, while the
Scriptures have continually proclaimed in
the story of Christ's burial and resurrection
that life springs from death. If there had
been no death, there would have been
no resurrection and no truth in the words
of Jesus which echoed through the cen-turies—"
Because I live, ye shall live also."
The real story of Easter is the story of
a tomb borrowed but briefly and as quickly
forgotten in the shadows. But someday it
would make a brighter resting for Joseph
of Arimathaea because the King of Glory
had rested there before him, leaving be-hind
the grave-clothes and the angels.
Ever Get Irritated?
God-given love never gets irritated. True,
it's a love the world knows nothing about,
but the fact remains that it is never irri-tated.
This is not synonymous with saying
that this love God gives never irritates
others.
A sunset, however beautiful, may irritate
the eyes of one suffering from photophobia;
but that is because the owner of those eyes
is unwell. The situation is not remedied by
asking God to send, or expecting Him to
send, an endless number of sunless days.
It is overcome by drawing a window-shade
for the time being, until the sufferer is
better.
It is note-worthy that in such a case
people are not prone to become irritated
with either the sufferer or the sunset. They
merely face the facts and adjust the en-vironment.
So, in our spiritual lives we
must not permit Satan to convince us that
love becomes irritated at times. This can-not
be true. It is not the nature of God-bestowed
love to become irritated, however
irritating the environment might tend to be.
The drawn shade soon becomes a con-stant
reminder to the sick one that a blaze
of glory lies just beyond it. In just such
a manner love is patient, adjusting to the
situation at hand, for is it not written
"Love suffereth long ... and is kind?"
An interest in cultural and world affairs
should be promoted by a school-sponsored
Convocation series of lectures, concerts and
discussions featuring outstanding local au-thorities
and artists. There should be more
publicity given to timely lectures and dis-cussions
presented at the University of
Minnesota and other places. It is encourag-ing
to notice the increased interest among
the students in concerts being offered and
the presentation of faculty and student re-citals.
Let's hope the interest is contagious.
Among the many issues and conditions
which are the topics of political debate
both in city councils and the U. N. assembly
there is a place for the Christian student
to show his interest and express himself.
Some intelligent thought and discussion
on current problems would certainly aid all
of us in presenting the remedy for the
world's ills from a truly Christian stand-point.
The phariseeical attitude represented
by the remark, "All government and poli-tics
is rotten", stems from the apathy with
which most Christians have faced civic
problems and elections. There is not only
room for more Christian political leaders
but also for many, many more active and
interested Christian citizens whose message
meets the people where they meet problems
and not only in church on Sunday.
Let us re-examine the attitudes with
which we have faced the opportunities and
problems of our day and resolve that our
Christian testimony will be one which will
show Christ as the center of life rather
than out on the periphery. If Christ is the
solution to all of life's problems we should
bring that message into the places where it
can be heard and tried. Otherwise, let's
keep the Gospel in our churches and within
the confines of our campus where we can
"convince the already convinced."
Spring Quarter
Rad-Adam/1
Like New Years, the beginning of a new
quarter is the time for making resolutions.
"I will", "I determine", " I resolve"—such
phrases are pretty common nowadays. Let's
look at a few.
To start off right, Rhoda Armstrong says
she's through making decisions—she can't
live up to them anyway.
Charlotte Ransom sat on the steps in the
dorm and said, "Well, I won't say any-thing;
I'll just show you kids!" At the
time, she was pushing her broom back and
forth making patterns on the floor.
Mr. Dalton determined that his students
would work hard for him this quarter.
After discussing the various tours and
events coming up, however, he confessed
he didn't know quite when.
Fraulein Nelson will be glad to hear that
Nadine Westin and Dorothy _____ have
resolved to quit talking in German class.
Concluding that with two extra subjects
it would be impossible to get all A's,
Trygve Homeland said he'd be satisfied
with B's.
As for Carolyn Friske her biggest con-cern
is that she can stick to her fare of
eggs and oranges. Well, I don't know—I
must be from Missouri.
Oh, speaking about Missouri, Wayne
Yount has given up writing letters for a
harder life of Palmer and Beardsley.
Anyway, I'll come back at the end of the
quarter; you gotta' show me!
Cem5 of Tbougbt
President Wingblade
Years ago, someone came out with a
book entitled: "Putting Yourself in His
Place." Of course that requires something
of experience coupled with imagination
and makes for sympathy or compassion.
The word compassion means, "to feel with"
or "to suffer with." Miranda says to her
father Prospero in the Tempest: "I have
suffered with those I saw suffer."
Longfellow has somewhere in his poetry
the statement that if a man could look
into the heart and mind of his worst enemy,
and see there the burdens and the cares,
the trials and the heartaches that beset
him, his hatred would soon change into
understanding pity and even into love. And
it is Victor Hugo who emphasizes that pity
and love are never far apart.
Whittier, in his enthusiastic tribute to
Robert Burns, who inspired him so in his
boyhood, also refers to his irregularities.
The American poet adds that we little know
the problems that beset the plowboy poet
and the pressure of temptation, and that
if we knew, we would withhold overhasty
judgment.
Even Mohammed speaks of compassion
as a miracle. He says: "What if we did
not have compassion—the gift of God?"
There was One, infinitely greater than
Mohammed, who looked with divine insight
into the souls of men—and shed tears
which were from the heart of God.
I recall how Charles M. Sheldon (the
author of, In His Steps) pointed out four
attitudes that men take toward their fellow
men:
One is that of selfish interest: "How
long will this man be able to serve me in
my factory or mine, that I might accumu-late
profit?"
Another is that of disgust: "Let's get
away from this crowd. I do not like the
odor of the mob."
A third is that of selfish indifference: "I
suppose I would give to the poor if I saw
them, but they do not come up my way. I
live on Fifth Avenue."
But a fourth attitude is that of compas-sion.
There was One who saw the multitude
as sheep without a shepherd, and He had
compassion on them.
Do we hear "the still sad music of
humanity" through His ears? Do we see
the human needs through His eyes, and
somehow feel the poignant pain of it all?
It was John Ruskin who said: "I simply
cannot paint nor read, nor look at minerals,
nor do anything else I like, and the very
light of the morning sky, when there is
any—which is seldom nowadays in Lon-don—
has become hateful to me, because of
the misery that I know of, and see signs
of where I know it not—which no imagin-ation
can interpret too bitterly."
And this was not only superficial senti-ment
with Ruskin. It was the depth of
sincerity, for he gave away nine-tenths of
his fortune of almost a million dollars—
to relieve human misery.
Dorm Dietetics
by Marti
What a life! Such abuse! I'd die, I would,
1 mean, I'd like to be the slender type, too,
but to go through what some go through—
Some use the cave-man technique; they
pound their hips, they roll on the floor,
they use various machines and practice sit-ups
,push-ups, and other horrible exercises
regularly .
Some use the miraculous drug method.
You know, use JIFFY-THIN—guaranteed
to take pounds off in just days! Miss Betty
Blimp becomes young again, dates again—
YOU may do it, too.
And then there are the Bethel girls. If
you see a girl in the dining hall with a
measly salad and an orange on her tray,
or if you smell spinach cooking in the
candy kitchen, it can mean only one thing—
the gal is dieting!
How to cure a girl of this? Do as one
girl did—paste pictures of lucious food
everywhere around, consistently bring home
malts and candy bars, and hide her scale—
these will make her weaken.
As for me, I couldn't grit my teeth and
run past the strawberry chiffon pie or
apple crisp a la mode! Hey, where's my
meal book? I'm starving!

Oratory Contest Set For April 25;
Cash Prizes to Be Awarded Winners
Plans for a Spring Oratory Contest are now underway by the Bethel
Speech Department. Professor Harold Berntsen of the Speech Depart-ment
has announced that April 25 is the date set for the oratory contest
at which time the first, second, and third place winners will be awarded
$25, $15, and $10 respectively. The awards are sponsored by Dr. Alford
Hanson, former Bethel student of 1920-24, who has given the sum of $50
for encouragement of better speech at Bethel.
Three themes have been chosen that the orations for the contest
must center around. They are: Christian Thought in Relation to War;
The Place of a Christian Education in a Democratic Society; The Chris-tian
Church and its Relation to Poverty. The title of the oration must
center around these themes, and the oration itself must be original.
All Bethel students are eligible
for the contest who are carrying
9 or more credit hours in the
College. The orations will be limi-ted
within 1400 to 1600 words. The
contest will take place at 8:15
P. M. immediately following Stu-dent
Fellowship Hour, April 25.
Each manuscript of the orations
must be presented to Mr. Berntsen
no later than 4:00 P. M. April 18,
either in Room 203 of the College
or in P. 0. Box F-14.
Three judges will base their de-cisions
on the following criteria:
Sixty per-cent of the decision will
rest on the content, originality,
persuasiveness, and organization
and delivery or the oration; Forty
percent of the decision will be
based on effective gestures used,
posture, eye contact, variety of
voice (pitch, force, quality, rate).
Mr. Berntsen stated that in the
event that a larger number of
entries are received than can be
conveniently taken care of in one
final contest, the sponsors reserve
the right to set up a preliminary
contest for the purpose of limiting
the field to the number that can
be conveniently handled in one
final contest.
Mr. Berntsen further stated that
except for normal assistance given
to those students who are regularly
enrolled in speech classes, the
speech faculty in fairness to all
would limit aid to contestants. In
writing and organizing the oration
the student must lean on his own
resources but may ask for pre-liminary
information as to general
questions covering the field of
oratory. Each student will be al-lowed
one session with one of the
speech staff for criticism of deliv-ery.
"Pilgrim's Progress //
Showing March 28th
According to John Weld, chair-man
of the Bethel Visual Aids
Committee, the fifty minute film
"Pilgrim's Progress" will be shown
in the college chapel on Wednes-day,
March 28th. The film por-trays
the story of the book of the
same title written by John Bunyan.
Time for the showings will be at
3:00 P. M. and at 7:15 P. M. when
it will be the program for the Stu-dent
Fellowship Hour sponsored
by the Religious Council.
Weld also announced that any
student interested may now take
lessons in operation of the movie
projector either to become an op-erator
for the school or for per-sonal
use. Those interested are to
contact Mr. Weld through P.O. Box
56.
"The Kingdom of God"
Is P.D.G. Topic Next Tues,
Next Tuesday evening, at 9:00
P. M. in the seminary lounge, Pro-fessor
Reuben Omark of the sem-inary
will speak to the Progressive
Discussion Group on the topic "The
Kingdom of God", a topic of great-ly
revived interest among theolo-gians
of both the conservative and
liberal schools.
According to Professor Omark
consideration will be given to the
varying traditional and current in-terpretations
of the Kingdom as
related to the doctrine of last
things.

Girls Advised on
Marriage at Dorm
Meeting Monday
"In love, you sink into his arms;
in marriage, you're in the sink up
to your arms," said Mrs. Curtis
Akenson to Bethel women gathered
at their recent dorm meeting.
Aiming at exposing the "roman-tic
fallacy", Mrs. Akenson, whose
husband is pastor of First Baptist
in Minneapolis, stressed the real-istic
side of romances and mar-riage,
and rather than passing out
hints for snaring the elusive and
wily male, she advised her femin-ine
audience to fall in love, not
"head over heels" but 'head over
heart."
She cited sociological evidence
to prove early marriage is not com-patible
with the socio-economic
system in which we live. She also
noted that, although Christian mar-riage
is the usual pattern for hap-piness,
it is not the only way
mentioned in Scripture. Allowance
is made by Paul and other writers
for happiness of those who prefer
to remain in single blessedness.
Much unhappiness and many trag-edies
in life have been the lot
of a few people who were just
dying to get married and who
finally made the grade, she ob-served.
In conclusion, Mrs. Akenson ad-vised
her youthful listeners to be
realistic and to seek and follow
guidance of the Dinivne will, con-fident
in the fact that the Lord
said "I am able" before He said,
"Be ye perfect".
"What's the Use"
Is Chapel Program
Next Week
Several musical selections were
featured on the program. Richard
Dahlquist played a piano solo, fol-lowed
by the reading of the Easter
message from Luke 24:10 by John
Hiben, after which Vernon Ander-son
led in prayer. Duets were sung
by Marie Ekstrom and Carol Bach-man,
Norris Magnuson and Eugene
Messenger, and Ann Radunz and
Mary Quernemoen. Vocal soloists
were Barbara Port and Anna New-ell.

'INDIAN ARROWS
I feel that if Bethel could have had a few more in their cheering
section down at Chicago at the North Park game, the team might have
come through with a victory instead of that heart-breaking one point
loss. The Indian cagers played excellent ball—generally on a par above
that of the Chicago team, with the exception of one Hoopie Johnson
(I'll always stick up for the Johnsons.) This game proved that Bethel is
capable of playing on an equal such schools as North Park, which are
generally figured better than Bethel. Possibly this will develop into a
friendly rivalry between these schools each year.
* * * * *
In the Intramural news we observe that West is still far in front in
the battle for the trophy awarded annually. Illinois continues in the
runnerup spot. Way down in the cellar is that unfabulous St. Paul-
Minneapolis team. They have yet to win a game, although they're still
trying hard. I think they need a few talented Twin City Prospective
Scudents. Are there any such students?
* * * * *
Plans now call for the very near future completion of Bethel's new
gym. A much needed facility, this new addition will help to attract
many new students to Bethel who would otherwise go elsewhere for
lack of athletic facilities.
Bethel Five Rips Luther, Concordia
Bud Pierce Leads Way With 17 & 24
Gaining revenge for their first
defeat of the season, Bethel bounc-ed
Luther, 65-59 on March 1 at
Minnehaha. The home cagers led
most of the way in chalking up
their ninth straight win.
Pete Unruh and Bud Pierce led
the way with 19 and 17 points
respectively. After a fine first
quarter in which they outscored
their opponent 20-9, the Indians
found themselves snowed under 22-
9 in the second quarter to be on
the short end 31-29 at the half.
Pierce contributed ten points in
this half for top honors.
In the final half of the tilt, the
Redmen stormed back with a heavy
bucket barrage of 14 baskets to re-sume
their lead. Unruh was the
guiding light, tossing in 11 points
to help insure victory.
Art Hage dropped three fine
shots in this half to aid the cause.
Meanwhile, outstanding Don Hart-wig,
only a freshman, starred for
Luther with 18 points.

Opening up in the third quarter,

sent in, but they kept the ball
rolling and the Concordia cagers
found themselves dropping behind
very far. Bud Pierce played one of
his finest games connecting on 12

Friday, March 16, 1951 Indian Cagers End Season; Win 11
North Park Tips Bethel 70-69
Break String of Nine Wins
Running into the hottest scorer
they had seen all season, Bethel
dropped a close 70-69 verdict to
North Park College of Chicago on
March 3. The Indian cagers travel-ed
to Chicago for the encounter.
For North Park, the star and
hero of the day was Marlyn (Hoop-ie)
Johnson, a 6-1 forward who
scorched the hoops for 33 points
on 15 baskets and three gift
throws. Most amazing is the aver-age
of Johnson. He hit 10 for 12
shots in the second half and had
a game total of 15 for 21. Such
phenomenal shooting provided the
extra push needed by the Chicago-ans
to slip past the Red and White
of St. Paul.
Pete Unruh started the team off
with a quick basket and the teams
traded shots for the next eighteen
minutes on equal terms. Ralph
Martin, playing his most brilliant
game in a Bethel uniform, netted
Bethel's next seven points after
Unruh's shot. At the end of ten
minutes, the Indians held a slim
17-16 margin. With only two min-utes
remaining in the half, Bethel
guided by Art Hage's three long
"swishers" and Martin's five points
jumped their lead to 37-30 as the
half ended.

This supremacy was maintained,
even increased up in the second
half. At one time, Bethel held a
47-36 lead. Then the devastating
work of "Hoopie" began. With a
deadly, precision like form, this
one man show began to sink his
shots. He hit his first eight shots
before missing one. Then he con-nected
on two more.
Martin added 13 to his total this
half and finished with his season's
high of 25. His fine rebounding
and shooting was outstanding in
the contest. Bud Pierce, usually
Bethel's undisputed field general
had one of his rare "Bad" nights.
Though he scored 14 points, he
was noticeably off on his shots.
Girls Downed By
NWSchoo135-27
Bethel girls basketball team drop-ped
their third straight game on
March 12 at Northwestern Schools.
Northwestern downed the girls 35-
27. The outstanding star once a-gain
was Carol Asker with 16
points.
Earlier the girls had lost to
Northwestern, as well as to Fair-view
Hospital. The girls can claim
only one victory, that over the
Farm Campus girl's team. Last
night (15), the girls were scheduled
to play the Mounds Midway team.
Those on the team this year in-clude:
forwards; Marge Johnson,
Marilyn Dahlquist, Nettie Diver-nak,
Pearl Ohlin, Barb Port, Lorr-aine
Pepper, and Carol Asker.
Guards are Ann Higbe, Ruth Mart-inson,
Audrey Samuelson, Gerry
Daley, Eunice Hult, and Doraine
Anderson.

Team Averages
61.4 Points In
Eighteen Contests
Bethel finished its 1950-51 sea-son
with a record of eleven victor-ies
against seven losses. The team
scored 1,105 points against their
opponents 971 points. These totals
show Bethel scored an average of
61.4 points per game while holding
the opposition to 53.9 points per
contest.
The cagers started off the sea-son
the wrong way by dropping
their first three games. Superior
State Teachers edged the Indians
by just two in the season's lowest
scoring game and Northwestern
tipped Bethel by only one.
Winning only two out of their
next five, the Redmen found that
after the first eight games, they
had won only two. Then the team
hit upon the right combination to
win nine in a row before dropping
the season finale to North Park,
70-69 at Chicago.
The Indian five hit 62 points
or better in all of their last ten
games. They were in the sixties
seven times, the seventies twice,
and hit a new Bethel scoring re-cord
of 89 points against Bethany
in overtime on Feb. 9.

B Squad In 94- 58
Win Over Calvary
Running up their highest total
for one game this season, the B
squad walloped Calvary Baptist
Church March 13 in the Bethel
gym 94-58. Ron Nelson rang up a
total of 22 points to take the
evening's scoring honors.
The Calvary five played the
Bethel team on even terms for one
half, but then faltered under the
constant fast breaking of the B
squad. At the end of the first
quarter, the score read 20-17 for
Calvary.
In the second quarter, the Cal-vary
team gained three points on
the Indians to pull into a halftime
tie score of 37 all. Cliff Anderson
continued his hot pace, scoring
five more baskets to give him a
halftime total of 16 points.
With Ron Nelson, Harry Nelson,
Chuck Lindgren, and Gene Messen-ger
all hitting at a good clip, the
B squad shot out in front at the
end of the third quarter, 66-45.
In the last quarter, they continued
to add to their total to tally finally
94. It was the last B squad game
of the season.
